iCow
We aim to secure Africa's food production.
We provide farmers with SMS messages loaded with great information on how to improve what they are doing. We provide information on best practices right into their hands wherever they may be. We also have cool tools that farmers can use to help them reduce their risks. Our system has a menu through which farmers can select whatever they require from wherever they are 24/7! iCow research data since 2011 has shown that farmers using iCow are capable of improving their yields and incomes within as short a period as 3 months. Your contribution ensures that farmers will receive 3 content rich SMS directly in their hands soon after you register. Farmers using iCow increase milk productivity, incomes, poultry, eggs, crops, soil fertility as well as reduce livestock mortality. In addition they share their iCow messages and teach their farmer groups and communities! But best of all, they increase their overall farming knowledge and find farming less risky!
